OH GOD I WANTED THIS SO MUCH

and so you say you need no vacaction

in the grey light of your days

another nighttime variation

that rides with you and stays

in my new built bed, like newly weds

forgotten are the shady dreads

in whitest sheets pleasing inner needs

don't you ever stop to stroke my neck

is this square one, has it only just begun

when memories feel ancient

do you bet on patience

to bear a hand, a coming back

for good, for ever, for all days left

minimize the gaping cleft

you love, you theft

oh don't you ever stop to stroke my neck

how i begged to differ, the lunatic gaffer

the kid, some wit, but helplessly

without you, then suddenly

it's all there in reach

a beauty in its sleep, so deep

i'll never let it steep

i hold it tight all nights from now to then and back

oh don't you ever stop to stroke my neck
